2013 Giro d'Italia Stage 14: Cervere - Bardonecchia 168KM

[Eshnar]

I hope he changes his mind, as this has been a flattish Giro. Taking on the Skyborgs and the Spanish armada is a can't miss competition.

Last year was a flattish Tour and we all saw how Froome was in the Vuelta.

The competition Nibali can't miss is the Worlds in Italy.

So we will be able to see the whole climb if we don't care for it being "live"(very overrated) right? Or will there not be highlights either?

 

[JRanton]

Just read that Cav has lost 3kg since the start in Napoli!

Haven't heard Hell March for 15 years...

No highlights. Nada.

 

[Carols]

So can't we feel for him then.

yes but I don't see why people need to get all upset about it, it is what it is. life goes on......

You are wishful thinking. Prepare for the worst.

 

[Afrank]

Im not so sure, it has a few stages that have been good but the race will be won on atrition. I mean MTF are not everything but we had had 2 good MTF bye now in the TDF we have had 1 so. I dont get your idea about rain rain and more rain has been good.

Where did I ever say that?

And the 2012 Tour was one of the worst races ever in terms of excitement, was like watching pain dry. It pales in comparison to what we have seen this Giro, even with some stages being altered.

Giro is a joke an absolout joke why even tune in tommorow a frigging joke what a shocking race.

Are you serious? The truth of the matter is The Giro should be held in July and the Tour in May. The ASO feel they only need to spend a few days in the mountains anyway, whereas the the Giro spends about half the time in the mountains so it being held during July would allow everyone to see the amazing ascents and descents that Italy has to offer.

 

[TANK91]

Still much better than your beloved Tour.

Do me a favour please i have no pecking order this has been lame though, and Giro 2010 my fav GT to date as a fan that was epic so go do 1. I just dont get the hate of the Tdf last year comparing it to this years Giro. I tell you what the diff is Sky and Brits

 

[cineteq]

No highlights. Nada.

There should be highlights at some point later today. The bikes should be recording.

 

[Broth3r]

The should turn tomorrow's stage into a MTT.

And have the MTT that's scheduled next week turn into a MTF.

Bad idea?

A Telegraphe MTT? I'd dig that.

The other MTT starts in a city at the base of the climb, though. It'd take some tricky negotiations to take the start away from there.

 

[TimChristy]

Alright so this is going to be final climb that we'll never see? No You Tube video later today?

 

[Eshnar]

No highlights. Nada.

sure? They should be able to record the images directly on the motos. They did for La Thuile 2006 for example

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

so we'll see the riders coming from 350m... lol this will be a long wait

 

[DominicDecoco]

I agree, this is awful. A race that's not on tv doesn't even happen as far as I'm concerned.

And no, I don't give a **** about watching the recorded pictures after I already know what happened.

What the actual f do you wan't them to do?

This sport is privileged enough to be able to ride in nature. In the wild, rough nature. When it occasionally happens, and let's be honest - it's not damn often, that nature won't have it there's not much to do about. Whining won't help anything. That's for sure.

1500 calorie deficit per day seems fine, even ignoring the fact that most of that is probably glycogen weight depending on when he was weighted.

Seems like EVERY Tour MTF is unridable right now, we'd probably have 21 flat stages with that idea....

 

[TANK91]

yes but I don't see why people need to get all upset about it, it is what it is. life goes on......

Ok this is a good response its just frustrating when we know have to wait 5-6 days for a MTF live, and tommorow's stage is a joke. This race has been won in the first week that should not be the case you can lose it but you cant win it.

 

[Miburo]

IMO Contador's best attack

32km to go

Bunch +7'20

Basso's descent wasn't shown live!?

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

This has potential for a Roche style surprise appearance near the end - hope it isn't ruined by occasional updates - if they can't do pictures just make the whole thing secret until it finishes - with weather like this there could easily be some shock weak performances from the top 10.

Is this video sped up as well?
